5 February 2011 - Chris Lang Jr rated sensational Nagambie trained 5yo Let Me Thru perfectly to lead all the way in the $150,000 Group 1 SEW-Eurodrive Australasian Trotting Championship Final (2760m) at Tabcorp Park Melton, Saturday night. Junior controlled the race piloting the Chris Lang trained son of Muscles Yankee and shook off a determined challenge from Kiwi raider I Can Doosit (Mark Purdon) at the quarter mile pole to establish a five metre break on his challengers and hold that margin all the way to the finish. Cutting out a final mile in 2:00.7 Let Me Thru easily held a chasing Down Under Muscles (Chris Alford) in the dash to the finish with La Mosca (Rod Petroff) finishing the race off nicely to fill third place 8.5 metres from the winner. I Can Doosit weakened to place fourth. The overall time for the journey was 3:36.2 with a 2:06.1 mile. There was no doubt about who was "The King" on the night, Let Me Thru was simply awesome. The victory was his sixth in a row and his record has been perfect with four wins from four starts this season. Trainer Chris lang doubted that even his dual Inter Dominion Trotting Champion Sundons Gift could have beaten Let Me Thru in this race. Lang decided to bypass the Trotting Championship with his star performer. “The one thing I’d like to know is if anyone thinks Sundons Gift could have sat outside this horse (Let Me Thru) and beaten him, because I don’t think he could,” the gun horseman revealed. “He’s a real horse of the future this bloke, and with a brilliant drive tonight he showed everyone what we already knew about him.” Let Me Thru has now won five Group 1 races with the Australiasian Championship win his biggest pay cheque. Let Me Thru was bred and is raced by RJ and P Matthews. - David Aldred
